Finland Finnish students are assessed based on their daily performances until they take the college entrance examination at age 18+. This consists of at least four tests: mother tongue and three other compulsory （必修）tests from second national language, foreign language, maths, and sciences/humanities. They can also take one or more optional tests like economics. France Lower secondary education ends at 15 when students take a lower secondary leaving exam, which consists of French, maths. civics education and history/geography together with continuous assessment from 13 to 15.

She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment—to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020. For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need—analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole. Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments. Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands. But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez. 4. Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author? A. To appreciate a software design. B. To demand a software revision C. To conduct an astronomy research D. To promote a high-tech product. 5. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in? A. Carrying out outer space experiment. B. Developing superspeed equipment. C. Looking for evidence of a black hole D. Searching for new stars in the galaxy. 6. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi? A. Pioneering and appreciative. B. Artistic and reserved C. Determined and disciplined. D. Innovative and controlling. 7. What does the author think of Andrea Ghez? A. Average B. Fashionable. C. Troublesome. D. Admirable. C Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since
